Scylla Lore

Ancient poems warn of a narrow channel of water so treacherous that death touches all who approach. Sailors must choose to risk their ship, traveling close to the monstrous whirlpool Charybdis, or instead hug the rocky shoals where dwells a creature some say is made from the nightmares of all men.

Scylla, they call her, Horror of the Sea. No ship that dares sail in her waters goes unscathed. Those that cling to survival whisper panicked tales of enormous black tentacles tipped with slavering hound heads ravaging whole ships to splinters with pitiless precision. Though it’s her laughter, they say, that’s most horrible; child-like, delighting in blood soaked murder as men are dragged into the dark abyss.

Poets have tried to romanticize this beast, to provide some humanity to her monstrosity. They write she was once a beautiful Naiad, wronged by a jealous priestess and transformed. Yet the old poems say she was born this way, beget by gods full of jealousy and loathing; dropped into the sea to terrorize mankind.

Would that she had remained in the sea, but the nightmare has come ashore. Dragged by dog-headed tentacles she roams our streets, plucks us from our beds, and fills the night with disturbing laughter. Scylla has come, and not even the gods can help us.

Quick Comment

I wanna ask about some opinions on putting Hide of the Urchinon Scylla.
This has been working well for me and I started using this when a Loki kept killing me. It's pretty effectiveasy actually. When I'm playing Scylla I'm not always looking to kill, just to be an annoying *******. That being said. Scylla still does very high damage without a full damage build. And even if you don't secure that kill, pretty unlikely, someone else is. Especially in close team fights. I've had max stacks at usually 15 mins.
Depending on how the game goes and the opposing jungles likes harassing me I go:
CDR boots. Soul Reaver Hide of the Urchin Rod of Tahuti that diamond penetration item or Chronos Pendant.
The build works rather fine too. I've always had less than 4 or 5 deaths. I like playing pretty smart.
Assassin's usually have a hard time picking me off as the rankings delays my death enough for my team to kill of the assassin in time. Unless it's ****ing Ao Kuang or Kali and even they can get one shotted by the 1+ult combo. Lolz.
Any ideas? I know you shouldn't do double stacks, but Hide of the Urchin and Warlocks sash is nuts lol.
I played an arena where Loki was useless.
He got his ult combo on me and still couldn't kill me. Then got murked by Hou Yi

I wouldn't recommend it, it's better to grab an item that has more offensive utility, even if it's mainly defensive. The best way to build defenses on a mage is to grab warlock's sash and then pair that with a defense item like Breastplate of Valor (this has more physical defense than Hide of the Urchin, doesn't require stacking and also gives mana and CDR reducing the need for Chronos' Pendant) or Void Stone/ Genji's Guard (if getting burst down by enemies like Ao Kuang, although tbh 1 defense item doesn't do much against him late game).

I would also avoid doing your build order that way. Soul Reaver's passive and price are really better late game. It's incredibly expensive to build into for its raw power, and its passive means a lot more late game when 15% of a god's maximum health is equivalent to more raw health. Rod of Tahuti should be bought 5th or 6th as well, since its passive increases in power the more power items you have, making it a better buy once its passive is stronger (otherwise it's hard to justify it's huge price tag). Finally, penetration is going to be your biggest damage booster if that's what you're looking for. You don't need two penetration items, but grabbing Obsidian Shard 3rd or 4th gives a very nice power spike for a low price of 2050g. A normal build order would be:
warlock's sash/ Book of Thoth -> Shoes of Focus/ Shoes of the Magi -> Chronos' Pendant/defensive option/ Bancroft's Talon -> Obsidian Shard -> Rod of Tahuti -> Soul Reaver.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
